THE CHALLENGE
Freedom Mortgage faced several challenges impacting both customer experience and operational efficiency.
- No customer 360 resulting in lost loans and reduced employee productivity.
- Reactive customer outreach rather than proactively managing the Borrower journey.
- Negative customer survey results. Extended days to close a loan, which meant delayed revenue recognition.
- Customer abandonment between application and closing.
SOLUTION
To improve borrower engagement and streamline internal workflows, Freedom Mortgage implemented a comprehensive Salesforce solution.
- Calendar and Events to schedule appts with Borrowers.
- Borrowers can schedule appts via email integration.
- Custom Lightning component to show calendar avail and borrower timezone for scheduling.
- Lightning Console for multiple workspaces for each loan.
- Service Cloud for consolidated customer information with Reports & Dashboards.
- Live Message for appt confirmations and reminders.
OUTCOMES
- Freedom Customer Advocates could see their daily responsibilities.
- Management could track and manage sales opportunities. Managers were hitting incentive goals and close rates were up 30%.
- Loan closure days were reduced.
- Borrower engagement was improved. Customers stayed with them through the mortgage process, which translated into $15M in additional revenue over 1 year.
